Forked, and mirrored to my Forgejo server. As someone else pointed out on a different community, this is a great example of the Barbra Streisand effect in action.
People like me, without Haier appliances, are now aware of this fuckwittery, and have actively taken steps to preserve the code, before it gets taken down.
Dickheads.
Seconded, and added Haier to my mental list of companies to never buy from.
Had a nice TV from that company. It was really long ago, though, and the terribly bright blue indicator of it being on I didn't like, especially when using as a PC monitor.
And, since we don't own or use any Haier appliances, we aren't subject to their TOS.
